Marseille Provence Airport Terminal 1 Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Marseille Provence Airport Terminal 1 is a two-hall complex (Hall A and Hall B) now stitched together by the large central “Coeur” atrium, forming one continuous landside spine with a single, shared departure funnel. The footprint reads as two legacy blocks connected by a wide glazed middle, with passenger movement oriented laterally across the Coeur, then vertically up to the mezzanine for security. It sits within Marseille’s main airport hub, opposite the separate MP2/Terminal 2 building.

Marseille Provence Airport Terminal 1 Map Strategy
- Hall A vs Hall B errors disappear only if you navigate by the Coeur: aim for the central glazed atrium first, then decide Hall A/Hall B once you’re aligned with that middle connector.
- Security is the control-point that matters: the only dependable plan is “laterally into the Coeur, then up to the mezzanine,” because there isn’t a separate Hall A security entrance to recover to.
- Fast Track expectations should be low: treat it as a lane you must visually locate at the mezzanine queue split, not a shortcut you can target from check-in.
- Passport control is a no-recovery boundary: use toilets on the main post-security concourse before crossing into the non-Schengen/passport-controlled zone, because facilities immediately after that gate line create a high-risk dead zone.

Terminal 1’s Coeur integration remains the defining layout feature in 2026: Hall A and Hall B function as one connected building, and departures are still funneled to the centralized Level 1 (mezzanine) security zone. The practical implication for printing a map is simple—mark the Coeur as the only reliable “bridge,” then trace every route as “across the atrium, up to mezzanine,” before splitting again for Schengen vs non-Schengen flows.

What is the exact walking route from Terminal 1 Hall A check-in to the correct security entrance (the one that actually feeds Hall A departures)?
Hall A departures use the centralized Level 1 (mezzanine) security checkpoint in the Coeur, not a dedicated Hall A-only security entrance. From Hall A check-in on the ground floor, the correct route is to walk laterally out of Hall A into the central Coeur atrium, then go up to the mezzanine where the single security hall feeds all Terminal 1 departures.
Walk out from the Hall A check-in banks toward the open, glazed Coeur “Heart” space (the big central atrium that visually connects Hall A and Hall B). Keep moving into the middle of that atrium until you reach the vertical circulation up to Level 1 (signed for Departures/Security). Go up to the mezzanine and join the centralized security screening area (the large multi-lane checkpoint). After clearing security, Hall A-bound (including non-Schengen) flows split later from the shared post-security concourse.
Where is the fast track / priority security lane entrance located in Terminal 1, relative to the main security queue split?
The fast track entrance is on Level 1 (the mezzanine) inside the centralized Coeur security checkpoint, but its exact left/right placement relative to the main queue split isn’t publicly documented. The practical reality is that you must reach the mezzanine security funnel first, then visually identify the priority portal at the point where the crowd compresses into the inspection lanes.
After you go up from the Coeur ground-floor atrium to Level 1, you’ll arrive at the large security hall (the multi-row inspection grid). Fast track is not a separate checkpoint you can target from Hall A or Hall B; it’s an access lane embedded within that same mezzanine security area. Plan to stay uncommitted as you approach the lane heads—scan for “Fast Track / Priority” signage before you fully merge into the densest part of the main queue, because the split only becomes obvious at the final lane selection zone.
Where is the nearest accessible toilet after the Schengen/passport-gate boundary, in the zone where travelers report being stuck without facilities?
No reliably documented public toilet exists immediately after the non-Schengen passport-control boundary in Terminal 1’s Hall A flow, creating a true no-recovery dead zone. The safest operational move is to use the restrooms in the main post-security concourse before you enter passport control, because once you pass that control point you generally can’t legally backtrack.
After clearing the centralized Level 1 security checkpoint, stay in the shared airside concourse (the double-height retail and seating zone) and locate toilets there before following signs toward non-Schengen gates/passport control. Treat passport control as a one-way door: crossing it can trap you in a holding/sterile area until boarding. If you’re traveling with kids, medical needs, or a long anticipated delay, prioritize restroom use while you’re still in the main post-security concourse, near the central seating clusters and retail zone, before committing to the passport-control lanes.
What is the exact indoor connection path between Terminal 1 Hall A and Terminal 1 Hall B (which corridor/connector is the true shortest legal path)?
The shortest legal indoor path is the ground-floor walk straight through the Coeur central atrium that physically links Hall A and Hall B. The Coeur is the connector; you do not need an outdoor detour or a hidden side corridor to move between the two halls.
From inside Hall A, walk toward the large glazed central volume (Coeur) where sightlines open up and the space becomes a single wide hall. Continue laterally across the Coeur ground floor until you pass into the Hall B side of the complex (the transition is marked by the interface/portal between the older hall structure and the newer central build). This is the direct, indoor, step-free route for basic Hall A ↔ Hall B movement on landside.
What is the exact outdoor walking distance (meters) from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 / MP2, measured from the primary exit doors travelers actually use?
The outdoor walk from Terminal 1’s main exits to Terminal 2 / MP2 is under 150 meters, typically taking 5–7 minutes on foot. The path is a fully landside transfer that requires leaving the Terminal 1 building envelope and staying on the public sidewalk between the two terminals.
Exit Terminal 1 through the central landside doors most arrivals and departing passengers use, then turn toward the open inter-terminal forecourt that sits between Terminal 1 and MP2. Follow the signed pedestrian sidewalk directly across the gap to the Terminal 2 entrance doors. There is no indoor connector and no continuous canopy the whole way, so the “correct” route is simply the shortest exposed sidewalk line across the inter-terminal space.
Where is the bus/coach drop-off point relative to Terminal 1 entrances, and which entrance minimizes walking for a luggage-heavy traveler?
The bus/coach stop is at the airport bus station positioned between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 on the landside forecourt, with Terminal 1 access shortest via the Terminal 1 doors closest to that inter-terminal gap. A luggage-heavy traveler minimizes walking by exiting the coach area and heading to the Terminal 1 side using the Terminal 1 “east” doors facing the bus station.
The bus station sits in the physical void separating the two terminals, so your decision is simply which façade you aim for. From the platforms, angle toward the Terminal 1 frontage rather than walking along the full curb line. If you’re arriving by coach and going into Terminal 1, choose the Terminal 1 entrances nearest the bus-station edge (not the far Hall A/Hall B extremes) so you enter directly into the Coeur-connected spine instead of adding extra curbside distance with luggage.
Where is the official taxi rank in front of Terminal 1, and which exit door places you closest to the start of the taxi queue?
The official taxi rank is directly in front of Terminal 1’s main façade, and the central Terminal 1 arrivals exits place you closest to the start of the taxi queue. This is a curbside, landside pickup line anchored to Terminal 1, not Terminal 2.
After baggage claim/arrivals, follow signs to the main Terminal 1 exits and aim for the most central set of doors on the Terminal 1 frontage (the doors that open straight onto the primary forecourt rather than the far ends nearer the Hall A or Hall B extremes). Once outside, the taxi line begins immediately along the Terminal 1 curb; staying central keeps you from walking laterally along the façade with luggage. If you’re coming from MP2/Terminal 2, you still have to walk the inter-terminal gap to reach this Terminal 1 taxi rank.
Where is the lost baggage / baggage services desk located inside Terminal 1 Hall B, relative to baggage claim (which side/door/bank)?
The lost baggage/baggage services desk is positioned in the Terminal 1 arrivals level directly adjacent to the baggage claim area, and you must use it before passing through the one-way exits into the public arrivals hall. Public sources do not reliably specify the exact carousel-side (left/right) or a precise door/bank reference for the desk within Hall B’s baggage reclaim zone.
Operationally, treat “toward baggage claim” as the locator: once you enter the reclaim hall and face the carousels (Claims 1–5 on the arrivals level), scan the perimeter edges near the carousel zone for the staffed baggage services counter before you exit. The key control-point boundary is the opaque one-way doors out to landside—crossing them can block re-entry, so stop and file the report while you’re still inside the reclaim space, even if you don’t yet know which carousel number your flight was assigned.
Where is the hotel shuttle waiting area located between Halls A and B, and which door gets you to the pickup point fastest?
The hotel shuttle waiting area is outside Terminal 1 on the curb positioned between Hall A and Hall B, and the fastest approach is via the central Terminal 1 exits that straddle the Hall A/Hall B boundary. The pickup is a landside curb zone rather than inside either hall.
After arrivals baggage reclaim, head to the main exits that bring you out to the middle of the Terminal 1 façade (not the far Hall A end and not the far Hall B end). Immediately outside, look for the courtesy-call phones positioned at/near those exits and use them to summon your hotel shuttle, then wait at the designated curb space in that same central exterior zone. Door numbers aren’t consistently published, so the reliable targeting method is “central exits between the two halls.”
Where are the highest-density seating areas in Terminal 1 (pre-security vs post-security), based on the terminal layout (not general advice)?
The highest-density seating is concentrated post-security in the main Level 1 airside concourse immediately after the centralized mezzanine security exit. Pre-security seating is comparatively sparse because the Hall A/Hall B check-in floors and the Coeur ground-floor atrium are designed as flow-through transaction spaces.
After you clear security on the mezzanine, you emerge into the double-height retail and dining zone (noted by the large multimedia screen and the central open space). That zone contains the largest clusters of public seating, including grouped seating areas arranged around indoor trees and the main concessions pods. For lower-density seating, the layout pushes upward: Level 3 hosts premium lounge/restaurant/terrace areas that function as quieter seating environments compared with the busy post-security central concourse.
